Apr 2019

the day he announced.
she gave a glowing endorsement.
when it came to anita hill, this is what she said, paraphrased-
after those hearings, he came to me, and said he would support me if i promised to sit on judiciary if i won. he did and i did.
he also convinced difi to join the committee, when she was elected in that 'year of the woman' that the hearings inspired.
she said that he had had a goal of women on the committee, but that the few who were in the senate at the time had turned him down. so he helped a couple get elected, and got them on the committee.

so, he came out of it realizing that the all male committee was a problem, that a mostly male senate was a problem. he reached out, and did the work, to try to make it better.
and succeeded.

to me this is more important than whether he says any particular bunch of words.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:

I understand his apology. nolabear Apr 2019 #7
The problem is he LED the unfair process. He had control that he's not acknowledging. pnwmom Apr 2019 #9
The corroborating witness did not want to testify. nolabear Apr 2019 #15
They didn't "want" to testify. Who would "want" to testify? But they were WILLING to testify pnwmom Apr 2019 #18
What do you want him to say? nolabear Apr 2019 #20
I want him to say he's sorry for the mistakes HE made. pnwmom Apr 2019 #24
So, something like nolabear Apr 2019 #25
It would be he wouldn't even have to go that far. He could just say something like: pnwmom Apr 2019 #26
Then if she says that this specific apology was too late, what would you suggest he say then? Skya Rhen Apr 2019 #32
I don't think she'd say that, but I think it would satisfy most people like me, pnwmom Apr 2019 #36

Which apology are we talking about? progressoid Apr 2019 #8
How many are there? Please proceed, since it looks like we're near some "apology time" zone. ancianita Apr 2019 #11
Not sure. Is it the Anita Hill apology or the "personal space" apology? progressoid Apr 2019 #16
Anita Hill. ancianita Apr 2019 #28

Joe's not phony. leftofcool Apr 2019 #14
While I agree largely, Joe has some baggage that other candidates don't. Evolve Dammit Apr 2019 #17
Joe has quite a bit of baggage leftofcool Apr 2019 #22
That is patently ABSURD. nt UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #34
No it isn't leftofcool Apr 2019 #39
You said 'he doesn't have the interest of the people in his heart'. Seriously? nt UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #40
Biden may need a shopping cart for the baggage. nt delisen Apr 2019 #37
That's ridiculous.. " he does not have the interest of the people in his heart." Cha Apr 2019 #41
